open a bag of popcorn, and read the instructions inside of the folds...it says,
"1.Remove plastic wrapping."
But you have to take the plastic off of it to get inside to read the directions..

Some of the popcorn manufacturers have finally noticed this goof, so all of it doesnt have it this way.

What are some things that you have seen or heard about that are as idiotic as this?

OK...I guess this was a really stupid?
Not one person knows of any other stupid instructions, or warning lables?

Well considering the outside wrapper is clear, and I can read the instructions through it.



The battery on my cell phone says "Do not put in microwave"

There's a sign just off Rte. 53 in Illinois -- it's on a sidewalk, stuck in the ground right where the sidewalk stops and grass begins -- it says "Sidewalk Ends" -- I've got a picture of it somewhere....

There used to be a billboard on Rte. 47 just south of Morris, IL, for a company called "Insultech" -- I think they actually sold insulation, but the name sounded more like high-tech insults -- "You're mother's as slow as a TRS-80" -- I have that pic, too --

buying popcorn in a bag is idiotic.

The old ones were folded over top of the instructions, ( the pop-corn bag)inside of the clear wraper...

LOL....Actually, you just reminded me of one in the Nashville, Tn area....Old Hickory Blvd, goes around the entire city...At one end it ends in water...don't recall if it a lake or river....but, there is a sign at the beginning of that section that says "road ends in water 5.8 miles"....right when you get to the water, ( which is a boat ramp), there is another sign, again, "road ends in water here."

Technically, it is smart, cause people like me, who like to fly down the road, and take curves fast, would end up in the water...but, it still sounds funny to me...

Yes, I am easily amused...lol

I read about a warning on a Superman costume for kids: "Costume does not allow wearer to fly."

I had a hair dryer say "not for use while shampooing hair" As if...

I have an iron that has instructions to "not use on wet clothing as it will not give the best possible results and could cause burning"

Is that you getting burned from steam or the clothes?

i just love the fact that they have these warnings because you KNOW some dumb a$$ actually did it...

i was in michigan once and saw "recycled flush water unsafe for drinking" on a sign above the toilet at the stadium...
